Schließlich verdient sie damit ihr Geld: Die Matchmaking-Agentur ihrer Familie bedient sich eines jahrhundertealten magischen Tricks, um die Seelenverwandten ihrer Kunden aufzuspüren. Nur bei Cassia selbst scheint es nicht zu klappen. Sie weiß, dass ein Mann namens Daniel Nam für sie bestimmt ist, doch er ist einfach nicht auffindbar. Und so beschließt Cassia kurz vor ihrem 40.

Bis Ellis ihr seinen Chef vorstellt – Daniel Nam. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen Kopf und Herz erfährt Cassia von einem Familiengeheimnis, das alles, was sie zu wissen glaubte, infrage stellt – und muss sich endlich entscheiden, ob sie ihrem Schicksal folgt oder es selbst in die Hand nimmt.
